I've been on a 40c/35p/25f (lots of olive oil and peanut butter) for the past 2 months and I've dropped about 2% bodyfat (to 10-11%) without lowering my caloric intake or increasing my activity levels. (Before that, my macros were probably around 60c/20p/20f).

I still would like to reiterate...as long as a diet is clean i firmly believe it doesn't matter how much/what ratios you consume (within reasonable limits)...sometimes i overeat my daily caloric intake by A LOT because i feel like it...but as long as it's clean...no gram of fat gained....i know because i experimented...for a month i was consuming about 4500+cals (i'm 167 lbs) for my maintenance while still doing my usual activities (running, weights, soccer)...didn't gain crap but a few lbm (as long as i see veins on my lower abs i know i'm not gaining fat...my 'measure stick')...i believe that if you stay anabolic throughout the day (stay active and expedite energy towards growth/hypertrophy/endurance/speed) you can eat whatever you want.

but once again....reasonable limits!

Ckd, started with 230p/180f/15c for about 20weeks then cut down to 230p/150f/15c, now on week 36. Instead of cutting alot calories during weekdays I have shortened my carb days from 36h/w to 24h/w to 24e10d.
dunno how to calculate macros so I wrote the total intake in g/day. Is macros %energy or %nutrients? thx.
